CLASSIC SERIES
LIVE STEAM
RUBY #1 |
|
 |
| While not
a model of any specific prototype, RUBY is a simple locomotive
based on Baldwin practice and is typical of small locomotives
used on industrial and shortline railroads all over the world.
This is an excellent engine for beginners in live steam, as it
is simple to operate and reliable in use. On the other hand,
it is sophisticated enough to interest those live steamers
with more experience.
RUBY will easily lend
itself to kitbashing and cosmetic modification. The
sheet-metal work (cab and tanks) are designed to be easily
removed, leaving a complete running chassis and boiler ready
for a new superstructure. With a little imagination and
ingenuity, the tanks can be eliminated and a tender added,
leading or trailing wheels added, or other changes can be
made, resulting in your own unique locomotive. |
